Fun game overall, really liked the seed mixing mechanics and such. Would be interesting to have like a nursery or something where you can raise plants without equipping them or something and then you can swap without harvesting which seemed to waste a lot of the effects or I was just misreading the discriptions which was probably my only real feedback would be to make the UI more understandable, I'm not sure but I feel that some times when I planted something it would take the thing next to it or before it and not the thing I was highlighting so I'd have to harvest it, and then plant the thing I wanted to by switching to something else and then planting it again but overall fun stuff!
